1. What did you notice about the effect of saving for 42 years rather than for 37 years or 32 years?
2. How does the length of savings (number of years) affect the amount that is earned by the time of retirement? Was this surprising or not surprising to you?
3. How realistic do you think it is for someone who waits to start saving for retirement to have enough money saved to support any type of lifestyle during retirement?
4. Based on what you have learned in this project, what advice would you give to someone thinking about saving for retirement?
5. What was the dollar amount and percentage of the monthly income that was calculated in order for the:
   1. 30 year old to save as much as the 25 year old?
   2. 35 year old to save as much as the 25 year old?
   3. Explain how these percentages you calculated compare to the 50-20-30 budget rule?
   4. OPINION: What percent of your monthly income would you consider depositing if you were using a systematic savings/investment plan to help you build long-term savings? Explain your reasoning.
6. Consider the question that was asked in component #2, Do you think you will be budgeting some percent of your income using a systematic savings/investment plan now or some time in the future, to help you build long-term savings? Has your answer to this question changed based on what you learned from component #3 and the savings you would have accumulated in each scenario? Explain your reasoning.
